To all fte/0m it' may concern.'

Be it known that l, VILLIAM CELEDA, a citizen of Bohemia, having declared my intention to become a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, in the county oi Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Smoking Pipe, of which the following is a description. Y

My invention relates to smoking pipes and articularly to a pipe having means to catch Y the nicotin and prevent the direct passage of the smoke from the bowl to the mouthpiece.

rlhe general object ot my invention is to provide a pipe of trie indicated character improved in various particulars whereby to provide a nicotin chamber of ample proportion and so arranged relatively to the stem and mouthpiece as to insure the settling and deposit orF the nicotin, and whereb also to prevent the passage of saliva to t e bowl, as well as to cause the smoke to be cooled before passing through the mouthpiece.

More specically, the invention has for an obj ect to provide a structural embodiment et the invention reiiecting practical considerations with respect to the possibility of thorough cleaning of the pipe and the convenience ot assembling and disassembling the parts.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, it being understood that the dra-wings are merely illustrative oi one example ot the invention.

Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a smoking pipe embodying my invention, a portion of the bowl being broken away;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional elevation showing the valve for preventing entrance of saliva to the bowl in the rearward position as when the smoke is drawn into the mouthpiece;

Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3 3, Fig.

Fi 5 is a perspective view ot a tting employed between the mouthpiece and the adjacent stem section forming a cage for the valve;

Fig. 6 is a. perspective view of an interior tubular element to be hereinafter referred to;

Fig. 7 is a. perspective view of a device l is a cross section on the line 1 -4,

to be associated with the valve in the preferred form of the invention;

F g. 8 is a perspective view of the valve; F 9 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing a construction from which the valve spring is omitted.

ln carrying out my invention in accordance with the illustrated example, the bowl 10 et suitable design is formed with an integral stem section 11 and secured to the same is a shell 12 extending adjacent to the mouthpiece 13, said shell being connected with the mouthpiece through a coupling or detachable stem section v111. The section 14 has a reduced iront end externally threaded as at 14a to engage internal threads on the rear end ot the shell 12 while said section 14 has internal threads at its rear end engaging external threads on the mouthpiece 13 as indicated at 14h. On the section 11i at the iront and within the shell forwardly extending parallel arms 15 are provided supporting at the front ends thereof a ring 16 having internal threads 16a.

A tubular element 17 ranges lengthwise within the shell 12 and spaced therefrom lto provide an intermediate chamber 19, said element having a throughbore 18. The front end of the tube 17 extends into the reduced forward end 12a of shell 12, said reduced end being connected at its base with the body ot the shell by a flange 12b projecting radially inward from said body. At the flange 12' a bushing 12c ot cork or the like may be provided in the flange 121 and at the'adjacent base or the reduced end 12a to make a tight joint about the tube 17 Said tube 17 has an annular flange or collar 17a that bears against ilange 12b and limits the forward movement of the tube. Adj acent to the rear end of tube 17, the same has external threads 17c engaging in the threads. 16a, the extreme rear end 17d beyond the threads 17 being y unthreaded. Y

A forwardly facing cup-shaped valve 2O is employedat thev rea-r end ot the tube 17 between thesame and the mouthpiece 13 to prevent saliva passing to the pipe bowl through said tube. Said valve slidably lits over the unthreaded rear end 17d oi stem 17 and it may, as shown, have an annular ila-nge 17a for a ingerhold, said liange also constituting a deilector for smoke passing out orP the bore 18. The sides of the valve 2O have holes 2Ob therein for the outward passage of the smoke into the chamber 19. Thus, in the act of drawing the smoke from the bowl through the stein and through the mouthpiece 13, the valve 2O will be drawn rearwardly and any forward pressure eX- erted by the smoker will reseat the valve. In any case it is prevented from completely leaving the stem 17.

At the forward end of the mouthpiece 13 suitable means is provided, limiting the rearward movement of the valve, said means preferably including a forwardly projecting member or members 21. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the dimensions of the parts are such that the valve 20 will directly contact with the stop member 21. In the form shown in Figsl to 1l, the valve is acted upon by acoiled spring 22 extending at its front end about the. rearwardly projecting stem 2 0on the valve and abutting the rearend of said valve. The rear end of the spring 22 is accommodated in and abuts against a housing 225 which in the illustrated form has lateral ears 28a thereon adapted to rest against an annular Vinternal flange or stop 14 of stein section 14, the back of said housing lying adjacent to the front end of the stop members 21. In the last described construction the spring tends to force the valve 2O to a seat. against 'the end of the tube 17 but the spring yields to the suction incident to drawing the smoke into the mouthpiece. The diameter of the ring 1G is less than the interior diameter of the shell 12 so that nicotinand saliva may pass forwardly between said ring and said shell to the forward main portion of the chamber 19.

With the described construction it will be clear that smoke drawn rearwardly through the stem section 11 and tube 17 is permitted to pass laterally through the openings 2Oby of the valve 2O and will be laterally deflected by the flange 20L thereby permitting the nicotin to be deposited in the chamber 19 and causing the same as it collects to tails herein illustrated, since manifestly the same can be considerably varied without departure from the spirit of the invention as dened in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim: f

' l. A stein for smoking pipes including a shell, a tube ranging longitudinally in said shell and spaced therefrom to form a chamber, a separate mouthpiece, means detachably connecting said mouthpiece with said shell, a valve slidably sleeved on the said tube at the rear end, and stop means to limit the-rearward movement of said valve, said stop means including stop members on the front 'end of the mouthpiece.

2. A stein for smoking pipes including av shell adapted to tit the fixed stem section of a pipe bowl, a tube in said shell and spaced therefromV to form an intermediate chainber, rthe frontend of said tube removably iittingthe front end of said shell, a mouthpiece, a stem section, a couplingvdetachably securing 'said rear stem section to said shell, a cup valve sleeved on said tube `at the rear end and `adapted to vibrate forward 'and back-on said tube to a forward position closing said tube or to a rearward position 'permitting the escape of smoke from the tube, and stop means to limit `the Vrearward movement of the valve.

and tiglitly `fitting the forward end thereof,

a detachable coupling section on the outer end of said shell, a mouthpiece detachably secured 'to said coupling section, said coupling section extending forwardly within the shell, said forwardly extending portion ofthe coupling section comprising separating arms, and a ring at the front end of said arm, thereby forming a smoke chamber within said arms and rearward of said ring, said chamber being in. communication with said mouthpiece, saidtubular element ei WILLIAM carena.
